Inspector General of Police Ibrahim Idris has said that he needs permission from President Muhmmadu Buhari before withdrawing personnel attached to very important perons (VIPs).

Idris noted this on Tuesday during a meeting with the Squadron, Counter Terrorism Unit,CTU, Special Protection Unit, SPU and Commanders at the Force Headquarters in Abuja.

According to him, “We are trying to seek the permission of the Commander in Chief before we conduct this withdrawal because it is going to be a massive withdrawal all over the country.

“Of course you know the sentiment of people, whenever you take such actions; there would be lots of complaints.
